Must Read For Mothers! Check Out The Job Description Of A Housewife.. by chocolateme(f): 12:09pm On Sep 03, 2016 |
A woman, renewing her driver's licence , was asked by the woman at Registry to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. 'What I mean is, ' explained the woman at Registry, 'do you have a job or are you just a ...?' 'Of course I have a job,' snapped the woman. 'I'm a Mum.' 'We don't list 'Mum' as an occupation, 'housewife' covers it,' Said the recorder emphatically. I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised, efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title like, 'Official Interrogator' or 'City Registrar.' 'What is your occupation?' she probed. What made me say it? I do not know. The words simply popped out. 'I'm a *Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.'* The clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in midair and looked up as though she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly emphasizing the most significant words. Then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written, in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire. 'Might I ask,' said the clerk with new interest, 'just what you do in your field?' Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heard myself reply, *'I have a continuing program of research*, (what mother doesn't) *In the laboratory and in the field,* (normally I would have said indoors and out). *I'm working for my Masters*, (first the Lord and then the whole family) *and already have four credits* (all daughters). *Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities,* (any mother care to disagree?) *and I often work 14 hours a day,* (24 is more like it). *But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.'* There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door. As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career, *I was greeted by my lab assistants* -- ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our *new experimental model,* (a 6 month old baby) *in the child development program*, testing out a new vocal pattern (crying). I felt I had scored a beat on bureaucracy! And I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable to mankind than 'just another Mum.' *Motherhood!!!* What a glorious career! Especially when there's a title on the door. Does this make grandmothers *'Senior Research associates in the field of Child Development and Human Relations'* And great grandmothers *'Executive Senior Research Associates?'* I think so!!! I also think it makes Aunts ' *Associate Research Assistants.'* 2 Likes |
